Moson Kahni
Moson Kahni was a wintering town used by the Northern Shoshone tribe during the 19th century. It is located within the Cache Valley, in parts of current-day Franklin and Preston, Idaho.[1] In Shoshoni, Moson Kahni means "Home of the Lungs", a reference to the plentiful amounts of holocrystalline syeno-diorite,[2] which appeared to look like lungs to the Shoshone.[1] Moson Kahni is considered to be a major Shoshone shelter and permanent winter encampment for the tribe.[3]
In popular culture
[edit]In the turn-based strategy video game Civilization V, Moson Kahni appears as the capital of the playable Shoshone civilization for the Civilization V: Brave New World expansion pack.[4]
